Inside Look at Hurricane Sandy from WPIX TV in New York

Thanks to Jim Cutler for spotting this insight into what happened to New York and New Jersey this week. These sort of productions are so much more valuable than most of the mainstream networks have been producing. http://www.wpix.com/

Jeff Pinilla who made the film is a 23 year old, Emmy nominated, film and commercial writer, director, photographer, and producer. His first major recognition was in June 2011, when he was credited for his work as producer and photographer on a print campaign for New Yorks WPIX 11 newscast. His independently produced film, After ever after, earned him nominations for many film festival awards including Beneath the earth film festival, Big apple, and Westchester Film Festival. He should really get an award for this piece of work. Brilliant shots.
